GR®5 From Luxembourg to the Mediterranean

From Schengen (Luxembourg) to Nice (Alpes-Maritimes)

The GR®5 is a long-distance hiking trail that stretches from Luxembourg to Nice on the Côte d'Azur, passing through varied landscapes, historical sites and rich biodiversity. This route, several hundred kilometres long, allows hikers to discover a range of scenery, from the lush hills of Luxembourg to the rugged mountains of the Alps. The journey begins in Schengen, Luxembourg, where the landscape is marked by vineyards lining the Moselle River. Heading south, hikers traverse dense forests, picturesque valleys and alpine passes. The transition of landscapes is striking: from lush meadows to winding rivers, culminating in the majestic panoramas of the Alps. As one approaches the Mediterranean, the scenery becomes drier, with the bright blue of the sea as a backdrop.
